Ingredients

400 g spaghetti

3 tbsp olive oil

1/2 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, crushed

100 g can tuna

2 tsp oregano

4 basil leaves, fresh

2 cans crushed tomatoes/700 g fresh tomatoes

2 tbsp capers

2 tsp parsley

parmesan cheese, optional

salt & pepper to taste

How to

In a large cooking pot boil slightly salted water. Add spaghetti and cook for 4 – 6 min until al dente. When cooked dry the spaghetti and add a few drops of olive oil so it doesn’t stick together.

In a medium sauce pan heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped onion and crushed garlic. Let it simmer until light brown. Add tuna, stir to mix well and cook for a few minutes before adding crushed tomatoes. Reduce heat and let it cook for 10 min before adding oregano, parsley, capers, salt and pepper to season the sauce. Cook for 15 more min and finish the sauce by adding basil leaves.
